1972 Map of Elkader NE

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Hackberry Creek and its various tributaries define the drainage patterns of this High Plains landscape along the boundary of Logan and Gove Counties. The terrain is marked by the distinct upland areas of Oakley, Gaeland O, and Elkader, where the prairie surface breaks into a series of draws and ridges shaped by the Middle Branch and South Branch of Hackberry Creek. This 1972 field-checked survey provides a look at the rural character of the region before modern agricultural shifts, documenting a network of section-line roads and scattered wells that supported the local ranching and farming economy. Water remains the primary geographical driver, with Plum Creek carving through the southern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the importance of these seasonal waterways in an otherwise arid Kansas environment.
